EADS Establishes Subsidiary in Norway

As part of its long-term strategy to bolster its industrial presence in the Nordic region, EADS, the aerospace and defense company, has established a new subsidiary and corporate office in Norway. To be known as EADS Norway NUF, the subsidiary will be based at Aker Brygge in Oslo.

EADS considers Norway to be an increasingly interesting market both in terms of industrial cooperation and commercial activities. The group has built up a strong relationship with a number of military and private Norwegian customers over the years, supplying naval radars, commercial aircraft, helicopters and other equipment plus associated services. Norwegian companies are already delivering important parts to the EADS product portfolio.

Hans Lüken, Vice President and General Manager of EADS Norway NUF, is heading the Norwegian operations for EADS after having worked for seven years as Managing Director of EADS South Africa (Pty) Ltd.
